Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

utgard14 The third movie in the Return of the Living Dead series marks a change in direction from horror comedy to tragic love story. The plot to this one has a teenage boy (J. Trevor Edmond) using the zombie gas from the first two films to bring his dead girlfriend (Melinda 'Mindy' Clarke) back to life, with horrifying results. This is easily the second best in the series, surpassed only by the first. The '90s wasn't a great time for horror fans. Most of what was being made was cheap straight-to-video stuff. I can count on one hand the number of decent horror movies from that time. This movie would make the cut. It has interesting direction from Brian Yuzna, a refreshing story, and a decent cast. Melinda Clarke is especially good. Definitely worth taking a look at if you want something different.

Bezenby Those pesky teenagers, eh? When they're not stinking up the place with bongs and their pop music, they're sneaking into military bases to reanimate their dead girlfriends. Probably quite handy that the teenager in question's dad was in charge of the place too.I was all up liking this one after recently rediscovering the first film, and ignoring the second one (haven't seen it for years and still remember how bad it was). However, I felt kind of let down with this one. I can understand why Brian Yuzna tried to tell the story the way it was, with a tragic romance angle and what not, but due to all the drama and brow-beating (not to mention the teenager shouting "Julie" several hundred times, I couldn't help but feel that the old zombie angle had take a bit of a back seat. I'm not out for teenage love and Romeo and Juliet styles antics - I wants hundreds of the living dead pursuing the living. For brains! The living dead themselves didn't seem to have too much of a handle of them living, breathing folk and were put down before they had a chance to spread, which was a bit of a pity. I don't know - this one wasn't to my taste. Others might like it. Maybe it was played too serious for me.

SombeeKillah Interesting 3rd sequel. With a interesting pair of young actors, Melinda Clarke and J. Trevor Edmond playing the ill-fated pair of lovers:Julie & Curt. Not really great acting but very earnest and refreshing. Kent McCord comes off better as Curt's dad,Colonel Reynolds. But then again he's had a lot of experience especially being on the TV series "Adam-12"Sarah Douglas had a good believable role as a snooty scientist but then again she is good at playing those "witch-type"roles. She seems to be typecast in that type of roles.Two actors that were completely miscast were Mike Moroff and Sal Lopez, these two great character actors have had and done way better. But here, being cast as two good old homeboys from the barrio was not believable one minute for me. Don't get me wrong they did they're best but they were just way too old for these type of characters, especially Mike Moroff.Jamaican actor Basil Wallace, who had an excellent debut in Steven Seagal's "Marked For Death", was also miscast somewhat as the homeless Riverman.But all in all a very interesting take on the zombie franchise and lore. Different also because getting bit by Trioxin zombie in the previous two Return of the Living Dead films did not turn the individuals bit into a zombie. However in Return of the Living Dead III it does. interesting note also was that At one point in preproduction, James Karen and Don Calfa were offered roles in this sequel. Both actors declined. Director Brian Yuzna on the DVD commentary regrets not coming up with a more proper name for the film as "Return of the Living Dead III" is too long. He suggested the title "Kurt and Julie" and admits that the title "Mortal Zombie" (which it was called in some places in Europe) was a nice name. And last but least, sadly, only the R-rated version is available on DVD. Those looking for the unrated director's cut will have to hunt for the VHS version :(

ctomvelu1 If I have not used this term in past reviews of ROTLD III, then let me state it here: this amazing sequel to the all-time horror classic is downright Wagnerian in tone. For those of you under 30, "Wagnerian" won't mean anything of course. For the rest of you ... The year is 1993 and our beloved government is still experimenting with a gas that it hopes will turn transform the dead into super soldiers. When a young man's girlfriend is accidentally killed, he lays the gas on her to predictably tragic effect. Unlike the original, this second sequel is not so much a comedy as a dark character drama. The ending is right out of a Wagner opera, to boot. The acting and special effects are above par for the genre and the gore is way over the top -- although a much more subdued scene where the reanimated girl cuts herself to ease her undead pain is so well done as to be unsettling to watch. She also is both horrifying to behold and oddly sexy at the same time. Considering the crap that was the first sequel, this second sequel represented a major comeback for the series. Unfortunately, it has been all downhill since then, thanks to a couple of lame made-for-TV followups..
